Brockia lithotrophica explained

Brockia lithotrophica is a thermophilic bacterium from the genus of Brockia which has been isolated from a sediment-water mixture from a hot spring in Uzon Caldera in Russia.[1] [2] [3] This bacterium is rod shaped, spore-forming and obligate anaerobe. It is lithoautotroph and grows on a mineral medium with molecular sulfur, thiosulfate or polysulfide; it has optimal growth temperature in the range of 60to for pH 6.5, but it is able to grow between and and pH ranging from 5.5 to 8.5.[4]
